"detaining an American journalist"
Veep
"so that you can have a photo op might look bad."
Veep
"Can you see that?"
Veep
"- Leon, I respect you so much as a journalist. - Thank you."
Veep
"And when Ben and I were first discussing the peace talks,"
Veep
"I said to Ben, I said, Ben. Ben, I..."
Veep
"Ma'am, State Department."
Veep
"- This I've got to take. Excuse me. Hello? - Leon: Never stops, does it?"
Veep
"- Leon, you need to rest. - Mm-hmm."
Veep
"I just had one second of sleep and I feel great."
Veep
"Okay, maybe the guys in the press plane would like me to go over there"
Veep
"and tell them about the US government imprisoning a guy in Iran."
Veep
"Go get Mike from the press plane."
Veep
"- Fucking idiots. - Selina: Yeah."
Veep
"We've got to hold him hostage here."
Veep
"Do you understand? We've got to take off now."
Veep
"Mike and Gary are off the plane."
Veep
"We have a pilot on the plane, right?"
Veep
"Okay, so let's go. We've got to go."
Veep
"Leon, you've got to sit down."
Veep
"I'm a bad flier and I might need somebody to hold me."
Veep
"Are you seriously detaining me again?"
Veep
"Am I being rendered?"
Veep
"No, you're being friendered."
Veep
"So just please accept our compulsory hospitality."
Veep
"Oh, Jesus, that suit."
Veep
"My gosh, you look like a middle-school teacher."
Veep
"Okay, that's Erica. She's gonna take you out and buy you some real suits."
Veep
"Not these government-issued rags you're wearing."
Veep
"She's not exactly government-issue herself, is she?"
Veep
"- Yeah. Hey, don't even look at her. - Oh."
Veep
"I'm kidding. Or am I?"
Veep
"Huh? No, seriously, I'm just fucking with you, Dan."
Veep
"So listen, tonight we're gonna put you on TV as a political commentator."
Veep
"- Yes! - Yeah?"
Veep
"Finally, something good to watch on the idiot box."
Veep
"We've just started lobbying for glacé cherries,"
Veep
"so mention glacé cherries."
Veep
"Well, how do I work in glacé cherries into a political roundtable?"
Veep
"You'll figure it out. Listen, you give me glacé cherries,"
Veep
"and I'll give you a bed of money with pussy on the nightstand."
Veep
"Maybe Erica. But not her."
Veep
"- No. - But maybe."
Veep
"(laughs) We'll just let that hang."
Veep
"- Yeah, yeah. I know. - Stay on your toes, buddy."
Veep
"It's gonna be like that the entire time you're here."
Veep
"Hey, that's Air Force One."
Veep
"Oh, my God. What the hell is happening?"
Veep
"- Why are they leaving us? - Are we at war?"
Veep
"- Is it here? Sweet Jesus. - No, it can't be. It can't be."
Veep
"- Oh, sweet Jesus. - Stop saying Jesus. Stop it!"
Veep
"Leon: This is how I see it."
Veep
"I say the US is planning a secret trip."
Veep
"The Iranians ask you to confirm the secret trip."
Veep
"You say there's no secret trip because it's a secret."
Veep
"They think I'm James Bond and detain me."
Veep
"Leon, you're no fucking James Bond."
Veep
"Journalism is storytelling."
Veep
"You tell your story about your bravery, your integrity"
Veep
"and how we rescued you and gave you warm nuts."
Veep
"The Iranians detained me because of you."
Veep
"That's my story."
Veep
"They detained me an extra day because of you."
Veep
"That's my other story."
Veep
"Now, you want to be rescued or not, you ungrateful shit?"
Veep
"My release was delayed because the president"
Veep
"wanted to grab the headlines for freeing an American,"
Veep
"an American she deliberately did not de-detain."
Veep
"Jonah, either get Leon's mom to the air base"
Veep
"or buy yourself a very convincing wig."
Veep
"- Where's Kent? - I don't know."
Veep
"Maybe he's bitten off his tracking device."
Veep
"He should be here by now. This is not okay."
Veep
"- Mike. - Break out the yellow ribbon, Sue."
Veep
"- We are stranded in Iran. - I'm really scared, Sue."
Veep
"Man up, Gary. Or at least lady down a bit."
Veep
"Gary and Mike have been left behind in Iran."
Veep
"Wonderful. It's Black Hawk Down with Laurel and Hardy."
Veep
"Amy, if anyone asks, no one's been left behind in Iran."
Veep
"There you are. Where have you been?"
Veep
"I grew a small beard here."
Veep
"Bill, of my various walking paces, I selected moderate to fast."
Veep
"The press are saying that the VP is unhappy with the president."
Veep
"- That doesn't make me happy. - Because of the secret polling?"
Veep
"Or because he's heard that someone has hacked the data of dead children?"
Veep
"Or a third reason which is even worse than those?"
Veep
"We've got to get inside Doyle's head, find out what he knows."
Veep
"- Get out. - No, come in. You get out."
Veep
"Mike, why exactly are you calling me?"
Veep
"- What do we do, Sue? - There's a backup plane."
Veep
"Find the backup plane."
Veep
"- Mike: Come on! - Gary: Oh, my God. Where is it?"
Veep
"- Mike: I don't know! - Gary: Oh, shit!"
Veep
"- Mike: Pardonne. Pardonne. - Gary: That's French!"
Veep
"Ooh, am I in the wrong place?"
Veep
"- Is this QVC? - Amy."
Veep
"Hmm. Hear you're lobbying with Sidney Purcell now."
Veep
"The man whose dream vacation is hunting"
Veep
"the street kids of Rio on a human safari."
Veep
"Not lobbying. No, that'd be illegal."
Veep
"I'm a consultant. And I gotta say, I like the guy"
Veep
"a hell of a lot more ever since he told me how rich I'm gonna be."
Veep
"Sorry you got fired. You were almost good at your job,"
Veep
"which really made you stand out."
Veep
"Right back at you."
Veep
"Can't be this nice to each other on air, you know."
Veep
"Oh, I know. May the best man win."
Veep
"- And that'll be me. - Which will be me."
Veep
"Mike! Mike!"
Veep
"I found the backup plane. Come on."
Veep
"Thank God."
Veep
"I've never had strong feelings for a plane,"
Veep
"but right now I would cheat on Wendy with that thing."
Veep
"Jonah, we need to talk."
Veep
"We are just in the car with Leon West's mother."
Veep
"Do you need anything, ma'am?"
Veep
"No, I'm good. Thank you."
Veep
"Great."
Veep
"Jonah, I know something's happening at the VP's office."
